Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 210 Funeral

Just now he was the most vigorous anti-Sula, then they are going to Rome.

Are they going to have a state funeral or are they going to rebel?

"That's right, this is a report from the Roman Gazette."

said the civil tribune.

"Quick, let me take a look."

"..."

The elders gathered here one after another, and the "Roman Daily" in his hand became what everyone wanted to read.

Although more than half of Sura's legions were killed or injured, the 26 legions had at least 80,000 troops, which was equivalent to an army of 13 legions.

After reading it, the elders couldn't help but look at each other.

Soon after, the Roman Senate passed a resolution with the fastest speed and the highest number of votes.

All decided to hold a state funeral for Sulla!

Li Wei finally set off from Dragon City, and the decision of the Roman Senate had already passed to him via Kuai Ma.

Li Wei looked disdainful, they knew nothing about real power.

The eagle flag was flying, and this time Li Wei was at the forefront of the army.

This used to be Su La's position, but now it is replaced by Li Wei.

All kinds of regiment flags, brigade flags and centurion flags are available. All soldiers are wearing armor and daggers, standing under their own centurion flags, followed by luggage, as if they were really marching and fighting.

This huge procession marched towards Kuma, and along the way, troops continued to flow into their army, where they would meet Sura's body.

The cold wind was bleak, and the team of Memius stood beside the Avenue of Appias.

At this time, a huge army had gathered here, and because Li Wei had concentrated his own legions, three legions had gathered here.

There are flying military flags and solemn veterans everywhere. They stand beside the Great Appia, watching the passing crowd silently.

From time to time, caravans passed by, and they were full of awe when they looked at this huge army.

Not only them, but the whole of Rome trembled under the power of these 26 legions.

At this moment, they saw the eagle flag fluttering in the distance.

A military tribune immediately stood in the front row, and all the soldiers stood up.

Not long after, Li Wei led the army and came to them.

Not seeing each other for a few years, Li Wei has become more mature.

"Report to the Patriarch that the original Capua First Army should have 4,050 people, but the actual number is 3,877."

"Report to the Patriarch, the original Capua Second Army should have 4,150 people, but the actual number is 3,988."

"Report to the Patriarch that the original Capua Third Army should have 3,855 people, but the actual number is 3,577."

cried the three military tribunes.

Li Wei nodded lightly, "Let's go back to the team."

"As ordered."

"As ordered."

"As ordered."

The three legions immediately followed their own legion flags and joined the team, which made the team even bigger.

The mighty team slowly marched towards Kumar, and finally arrived at Kumar one day later.

At this time, a large team had gathered outside the city of Kuma, including Sura's veterans, Valeria and Sura's children.

"Li Wei, thank you."

Valeria said with red eyes.

When she learned of Sura's death, she felt like the sky was falling.

In particular, some bad remarks from Rome came to her ears, which made her feel very disturbed.

But now Li Wei stood up, and he colluded with all the veterans to hold a state funeral for Su La.

"This is what I should do. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you can come to me."

Li Wei smiled and hugged her gently.

Valeria nodded slightly.

He glanced at Sulla's hearse. Sulla's body lay on a coffin covered with gold, and the cart carrying the coffin was pulled by 8 oxen.

Li Wei exchanged brief greetings with those veterans of Kumar, and they all expressed their great gratitude to Li Wei for standing up. You must know that this is against the Roman Senate and the consul.

"Can we go now?"

"Okay."

"Then let's go."

So the whole procession set out again, this time to march on Rome, but in a different way.

The team became even bigger, Sura's hearse replaced Li Wei's position, and walked at the forefront of the legion, just like marching and fighting in the past, but this time it was his hearse, and Li Wei and Valeria followed The back of the hearse.

From time to time along the way, villagers and citizens came to present all kinds of precious items, including hundreds of liters of spices, which filled the hearse.

There are also as many as 2,000 various gold crowns. According to Roman customs, these villagers and citizens also joined the funeral procession, and the entire procession reflected golden light in the sun for a while.

When he returned to Appia Avenue again, he found a person who surprised them.

I saw Pompey leading his three legions quietly waiting beside the road.

For Pompeo, many people don't have a good face.

Almost everyone was mentioned in Sulla's will, but Pompey was not mentioned, which shows the bad relationship between them.

"I heard that you also support the state funeral of Sura, thank you for your support."

Li Wei said proactively.

"It is my pleasure."

Pompey said awkwardly.

"Then come in."

Levi said.

Pompey nodded, and then joined the end of the line.

The whole procession set off again for Rome, which was in sight an hour later.

At this time, the gates of Rome opened wide, and after heated discussions in the Senate, it finally opened its arms to the 26 legions.

The chief priest and various priests had been waiting for a long time, and they looked at the crowd with complicated expressions.

Some Roman citizens watched the approaching team quietly, and some people also offered their own gifts, and even cried bitterly.

In order to protect his safety in Rome, Sulla freed 10,000 slaves and let them live in Rome.

These slaves are all grateful to Sura and regard Sura as their reborn parents.

"Follow me."

Ignoring the crying, the chief priest said, and after he finished speaking, he led the priests of the major temples to the front.

"Raise the flag!"

Levi said loudly.

All the banners of the Legions, of the Battalions, and of the Centuries were hoisted, and passed through the gates.

Those Roman citizens watched all this with horror on their faces, and some of them even made up their minds that it is best to leave Rome these days to avoid any repercussions.

The whole procession arrived at Civic Square, where the Consul and all the elders were already waiting quietly.

Lepida's expression was flat, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

But it can be seen from his haggard look that he is not having a good time these days.

At this time, he found Li Wei, who looked at him with disdain, and Lepida's face became a little pale.

Under the command of the military tribune, the soldiers formed an orderly rank.

The chief priest stepped onto the podium and said, "Luculus will deliver the eulogy next."

The eulogy is usually read by the closest people, but since Faustus is not yet of age, it can only be read by his guardian Lucullus.
